Dose of 20mg/week of Ukrain was found to have potential anticancer actions used 2 months (Naural Standard, 2013, p. 2).

Cautions

The herb is considered somewhat toxic, although has a long history of traditional use (Natural Standard, 2013, p. 2). Suggested to posses “selective toxicity” towards malignancy cells, which suggests benefit in the indication of cancer, however current research fails to describe the herb’s mechanism of action (Natural Standard, 2013).
